Confessing.

Alright, this is kinda personal. If you aren’t okay with feeling second-hand embarrassment from extremely vague details, you might just want to look away from this. Like now. Also there are time skips and stuff since I never finish writing posts on the same days haha.

I like this guy, right? And last week there was some sort of incident(?) that made my friend think that he liked me back, at least a little. But now, I feel like wishful thinking is a waste of time, and that continuing to worry about this is just wearing down on me.

It’s a few days later. I confessed. The short version of what he said was that we should get to know each other better, so that if we ever got together and had to break up, we wouldn’t hate each other and destroy a friendship. So now I’m left wondering if

a) He actually likes me back

or

b)He just let me down in the nicest and most misleading way ever.

Would it help to mention that I can’t flirt for my life, and that when I try, I’m not subtle? At all?! This is why people need to be more straight forward with me. Can’t you tell I’m slow?

If you’re still reading this, I’ll just give you a little advice.

It doesn’t take much to actually confess. It’s more of a problem getting yourself mentally prepared for it. So don’t over think it, or you’ll just get frustrated or upset. Just use commonsense, go up to him/her, and say it. At this point, you come to the forked road of either

a) Staying and listening to the reaction

or

b) Running away in embarrassment.

I seriously advise you not to do b, or you may have just wasted your time.

Good luck other people who attempt doing this, and wish me luck, too, because who knows what happens after this.
